A reminder that our e-books are not necessarily ours, but that we merely have a license to read them, even though we often pay as much for them as for the real books. Though, I thought this way before I heard of these cases in which Amazon would shut off people from their e-books. Just by virtue of my technophobia, I figured that once my Kindle breaks down I will probably be out of all the books that I have on it, because even if their is a procedure to access those books and download them again into a new Kindle, I probably would not be able to master those steps. Accordingly, I try to get only my disposable reads through my Kindle, the books that I expect I will only want to read once anyway, especially the trash-fiction.
